I'm not a fan of the term DIR. "Doing It Right" is very arrogant. Who says that the rec divers are Doing It Wrong? If they were doing it wrong they'd all be dead. They are diving how they want to dive and I dive the way that I want to dive. It's the team diving thing that I believe in.
I'm doing the way I think is right, who has the right to tell me otherwise?
I agree with you, it's inexcusable for an organization to tout itself as such, and shame on those who are attempting to lecture you otherwise. I say we need to be proactive about this, and let these fat cat companies know that we as consumers have a voice, and will not tolerate their elitist tendencies. I'm sending this off to GUE headquarters today:
"Dear GUE,
I'm not a fan of the term DIR. "Doing It Right" is very arrogant. Who says that the rec divers are Doing It Wrong? If they were doing it wrong they'd all be dead. They are diving how they want to dive and I dive the way that I want to dive. It's the team diving thing that I believe in.
Sincerely,
(your name here)"

I'm also sending the following to Kentucky Fried Chicken:
"Dear Yum Brands,
I'm not a fan of the term "We Do Chicken Right." "We Do Chicken Right" is very arrogant. Who says that the other dinners are Doing Chicken Wrong? If they were doing it wrong they'd all be dead. They are doing chicken how they want to do chicken and I do chicken the way that I want to do chicken. It's the team chicken doing thing that I believe in. Yes, I know what I said.
Sincerely,
(your name here)"

And to Dinners Done Right:
"Dear Dinners Done Right,
I'm not a fan of the term "Dinners Done Right." "Dinners Done Right" is very arrogant. Who says that the other dinners are done wrong? If they were doing it wrong they'd all be dead. They are doing dinner how they want to do dinner and I do dinner the way that I want to do dinner. It's the team dinner doing thing that I believe in.
Sincerely,
(your name here)"

And to the absolute worst offender, the Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry:
AWCI | Stucco—Doing It Right® | Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry 703-534-8300
"Dear AWCI,
I'm not a fan of the term "Stucco - Doing it Right." "Stucco - Doing it Right" is very arrogant. Who says that the other stucco contractors are doing stucco wrong? If they were doing it wrong they'd all be dead. They are doing stucco how they want stucco to be done and I do stucco the way that I want stucco to be stucced. It's the team stucco doing thing that I believe in.
Sincerely,
(your name here)"

I think we can really get the ball rolling on this. I'm glad you're on board.
